No, they didn't use the original theme at all. Probably some kind of copyright/royalties issue - a bit of a shame.
What a great man and a wonderful programme this was. It was years ahead of its time, like Rogue Traders or Donal Macintyre but on a much more ambitious and dangerous scale.
I don't know how Cook kept his nerve and composure in some of those situations. It must have been terrifying for him.
Noticed another touch of TV 'fakery' though - when the villiain on the Costa Del Sol hurled a white thing at Cook there was a loud exaggerated sound of breaking glass - clearly added in post-production, as they made the mistake of playing the clip later on with identical audio but without the breaking glass sound.
